The darkness had already invaded the sky and poured on anyone who was unfortunate to be outside at the time.


Aether sighed, his breath was frosty and the sound of rain colliding with the umbrella haunted him as he walked through the streets. Noticeably he could feel the warm hand of his lover entangled with his own.

"How about we watch a movie? I'll make us some hot drinks," he asked his lover who gave him a sweet smile, one that you would rarely see show up on the ravens face.


Though Aether suddenly felt cold, the warmth had disappeared. He looked over for Xiao, but as he was walking down an alley, Aether quickly went to chase after him.


When Aether caught up to Xiao he was kneeling on the floor, clutching something he was holding in his jacket. Aether stationed the umbrella so it would be over his lover's head, keeping the rain off him.

"Xiao! Why did you suddenly run off like that?"

"Xiao?" Aether called once more before curiously peeking over his shoulder.

Xiao suddenly stood up, a small kitten was peeking through the opening of his jacket. Aether instantly melted as he saw its golden eyes cutely staring into his soul.

Xiao continues to hold the kitten close, giving it the warmth it needs. He hesitantly looked up at Aether, he could tell the raven wanted to ask him something.

"We can take it home for now," Aether says before Xiao could ask.

Aether now had both the eyes of the kitten and Xiao looking at him, eyes almost sparkling. He looked away, unable to handle the cuteness before him.

"Can we keep him?" Xiao mumbled, once again laying his attention on the small creature.

Aether simply smiled, "If that's what you want."

He messed with the raven's hair, softly rubbing the top of his head. Xiao's ears were pink but it could've just been from the cold.

"Let's get home. It'll be warm there." Aether said softly. Xiao nodded, holding Aether's hand once again.
